Next year was the reply.
I hope his information is wrong.
What do you think of his reply.
I was under the impression it was this year.

I think this is a Chinese based company.
The engine will be 150bhp, and should achieve 50 t0 55mph.
It will also be coupled to a six speed gear box.
Hope this helps.
I think SAIC are making it on new production lines in Nanjing, but it is based on a Yunnei engine.adaveabbott wrote:I hear the Diesel engine is being made by Kumming Yunnei Power Company Ltd.

Yes, but I'm not sure that they park on the beach itself and the people in the picture don't look like they have much chinese ancestry.patpending wrote:European models - do Chinese people drive to the beach?
It has not been announced yet but the main reason for introducing it has to be the direct injection system which is aimed at reducing CO2 levels. Given that it is only a little bigger than the 1.8 I wouldn't expect it to produce more than 200bhp, they may introduce a larger version of it though or even a V6 version, we have seen prototypes for both.aayisha19 wrote:
i really want to like the MG6, but right now its not very appealing. The 2.0 turbo might go some way to correcting that. Do you know what sort of power it will have?
They need to be careful about prices too. the current car is not as cheap as it could be given the 'unknown' nature of it.
Should I buy one?
It’s fighting some great cars, but it definitely deserves consideration. Dynamically speaking, it’s a great car for British roads. It’s a hoot to drive, and roomy and well-priced with it. Downsides? Depreciation and lasting quality still need to be proven, and to our eye the car rather lacks visual character. The base shape is fine, but there isn’t enough “MG-ness” about it. We reckon it’s time for the designers to live up to what the engineers have already achieved. Then you’d have a great car.
aayisha, living in the US, what particularly interests you about an MG6? Not a diesel by the look of it. I don't suppose you will ever have had the opportunity to drive a modern MG.aayisha19 wrote:

Cabin quality too, is a lot better than it was on the early petrol models; the overall design of the interior, and in particular the dashboard, is much the same as before but it appears that some materials have been changed and parts retooled, and the overall effect is now perfectly acceptable, even attractive.
